The interior temperature sensor 11
» Fig. 61
is located in the bottom part of the
device. Do not stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an
unfavourable effect on the Climatronic. ÐAutomatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching on
› Set a temperature between +18 °C and +29
℃.
› Move the air outlet vents
3 and 4 » Fig. 58 on page 60 so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards.
› Press the button
AUTO 12
» Fig. 61 on page 65
; AUTO is shown in the display.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated. ÐSetting temperature
› The required interior temperature can be set with the control dial 1
» Fig. 61
on page 65 after switching on the ignition.
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +29 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range. If you select the tempera-
ture below +18 ℃, “LO
” appears in the display. If you select the temperature high-
er than +29 ℃, “HI” appears in the display. In both limit positions the Climatronic
operates at maximum cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature
is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold. Ð17
18 Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam.
Switching on
› Press the button

» Fig. 61 on page 65
; the symbol appears in the dis-
play.
Switching off
› Press the button
17
» Fig. 61 on page 65
again and the symbol disap-
pears from the display. WARNING
Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale”
air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, reduce attention levels and
also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up. Note
If recirculated air mode is switched on for around 15 minutes, the symbol will
begin to flash in the display as a sign that the recirculated air mode is switched on
long-term. If the recirculated air mode is not switched off, the symbol flashes for
around 5 minutes. Ð Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the
interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adapted to
suit your particular needs.
› Turn the control dial 10
» Fig. 61 on page 65 to the left (reduce blower speed) or
right (increase blower speed).
If the blower is switched off, the Climatronic system is switched off. £

Phone Phonebook
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook can
be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the phone
book from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control unit.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-free
system, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored after the
last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone numbers are on-
ly shown after the updating has ended. The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call,
voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
The internal phonebook provides 2
500 free memory locations. Each contact can
contain up to 4 numbers.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete. ÐOperating the phone on the multifunction steering wheel
